Hi! since I upgraded by OTA market is slow, I keep trying with a froyo of rom, but the market is always slow! I did the wipe, what can I do?
[Desire General] Phil750123:
I have the same issue, i think it depends what rom you use.

I use defrost rom which suppose to get rid of the slow market, but doesnt, just have to live with it! Is stupidly slow though

I was just recording a video when i noticed that HTC desire doesn't autofocus when recording, It only focuses on the beginning.

Is there any patch to fix this?!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
Not possible, the desire will focus before recording and when you are recording the focus is fixed!

I'm trying to download an app from the samsung apps but it says i have no space left....... this is not true.

Does anybody know where it downloads the temp file too before trying to install it?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Did you by any chance do the first tweak to get rid of stalls/blackscreens? (Where you moved the data folder to the nand?). That can cause issues with installing some apps, for example asphalt, since it uses that location to download temp files...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomolewis:
yeah I did, its downloaded ok but won't install ?

if I knew where it was I could link it back to the sd card
[Vibrant General] bskballa92:
Title says it all.

I hate touchwiz. Looks to iPhone-ish for me. Now that this phone has root access, all that's left for me is to kill touchwiz and get over to no LED flash :)

PS. Been looking for an answer to this question, havent found it so Im posting here.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
TouchWiz is great. The only thing that looks "iPhoneish" is the app menu which you can change to a scrolling list view.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
You can load up launcher pro on top of it...and afterwards maybe it can be token out of the source code that samsung released and flashed on as custom rom.

That said Touchwiz doesn't look too bad..I mean the iphone didn't invent icons on a black screen...I had icons on my windows 95 pc and chose black background...must have been copying the iphone back in 1995 >.> lol
[Vibrant General] ArcticWolf91:
I have Launcher Pro Beta installed and I love it. It takes away all the ugliness of TouchWiz, while still leaving a lot of the great features and apps that TouchWiz has to offer. My friend was very jealous of how my phone looked like this compared to his vanilla android Droid. Especially the text messaging field.
[Vibrant General] cojonesx:
I really wish there was a way to use the standard contacts, calendar, messaging without the touchwiz integration, using something like adw launcher is nice until you go into the touchwizish apps and then it feels quirky.

Waiting for standard android 2.1/2.2 instead of just changing the launcher
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
So is there a definite answer to this?
[Vibrant General] BM1515:
Adw launcher

Check out adw launcher its awesome and its on the market
[Vibrant General] bromat80:
I am using launcher pro beta right now and it is working great.
[Vibrant General] rooteroa:
Don't know how you guys can hate on TouchWiz. Only issue I have is it's a bit jerkier than LauncherPro, but looks wise it's nice.
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
LOL when the phone was first released in the Galaxy S version i was like WTF SAMSUNG? why did you make the phone look like an iPhone and make the icons and app drawer look like the iPhones? it seemed very unoriginal, but after the Vibrant came out and they took the single home button look away and added the 4 capacitive buttons i liked the phone and one of the first things i did was get adw.launcher and i couldnt be happier

only thing that blows about it is not being able to use any of the new Samsung widgets :( but no biggie adw.launcher is the best replacement IMO. Its super fast, you can use Live walls and you can make your task bar and notification bar go bye bye for a cleaner sleeker look :)
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
ADW all the way! :D

Thought the same thing when I first saw the Galaxy (threw up in my mouth a little). Realized it was TouchWiz and I knew I'd put ADW on first thing. Problem Solved!
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
You can probably pull the APKs out of a standard vanilla ROM and push them to system/app dir to replace the touchwize apps. Just pull them out of a N1 rom or soemthing.
[Vibrant General] red96turbols:
So there still hasn't been an answer to this. I have LauncherPro installed, and only 98MB memory available. Uninstalled, I have 140+MB available. I like how LP can have a customizable, infinite loop dock and all that. I like how its snappier than TW and how you can have a 3D "cube" style apps drawer. I just wish there was a TW style app drawer. I like the pages deal going side-to-side with customizable pages. I put all important apps on the 1st page, tools on 2nd, games on 3rd and rarely used apps on the 4th. I just don't like how I can't customize the dock and how slow it makes my phone (because it does and you can't deny it.)

also, how the heck do I "watch" a thread and make it email me on replies? I haven't figured out this board so much, but then again, I don't use my computer alot since I have this handy dandy vibrant haha.
[Vibrant General] KnottyBitz:
You can customize the dock. Three of the four icons can be replaced (Not Apps). I replaced Messaging with Gmail. Check the full user manual (on T-Mo site).

Does anyone have connected streak with Bluetooth headset coz I am finding it bit awkward that every time I have to hit Bluetooth tab on call screen to get connected not like other phone which automatically connected when headset is on?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I connect to bluetooth headphones and car kit and I find it's better to switch on bluetooth on the streak first then switch on the device, that way they connect ok
[Streak 5 General] dead101:
yea half job sorted thanks for that

other half is say instance if i have to make a call i dial the number on phone then do i have to hit bluetooth tab on call screen dosent it connect by its self with headset :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mirceal:
Hello,

I've just bought my Galaxy S.

I have problems with the default Exchange Email client from the phone.(is this Samsung one, or Android?).

At the begining it was working fine, without any issues.

I made a firmware update using Odin to I9000XWJG5 and it was not working anymore. When I was trying to configure it all the time I was getting "Unable to connect to open connection to server". I checked with a USB tracing tool and I saw that the email client is crashing.

Meantime I updated to the last VDF Romania verision I9000BUJF5, but the behaviour is the same.

What it is starnge is that I installed an Market Exchange Clent, Touchdown, and it is working just fine (using Active Sync connection to Exchange Server).

What do you think? Which can be the issue?

The funy thing is that with an other I9000 with the same software, is working the default Exchange Email client! So it is something with my hardware?

Thanks,

Mircea
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pdaman:
I have same problem. Any solution? I use 3rd party like TouchDown and RoadSync are working fine. Is this ROM problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mirceal:
One more thing: the same behaviour is hapening if I try to configure yahoo mail!!! It is a problem with the embeded email client!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
though touchdown works, but it doesn't integrate with the phone and other Widget.

Still prefer the Exchange client comes with SGS.

and looks mirceal has a more serious problem than i do, I only can't sync the calendar, unlike mirceal, can't sync anything
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DUTCH:
I have the exact same problem. Have you found a solution yet?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
On my side I have already tested a lot of mail app and a lot of ROM ( australian JG2 I think and JFF, JM2, JM5, JG8 and JP3)

For all the 3rd party mail app ( htc work mail, k9, touch down) it basically works all the time

For the integrated mail app I had the following issues :

* Unable to connect to open connection to server for all the exchange account

* Unable to connect to open connection to server only on the subfolder ( the inbox was working)

* Unable to connect to open connection to server for the Hotmail

* Hotmail mail downloaded but not displayed ( can't even see the list of mail ... just the count on the first mail app page)

This problem occured only with some ROM and sometime with the same ROM it happened or not after a reboot

For instance on JFF, JG8 and JM5 I have never been able to see the mail coming from the subfolder of my exchange account.

I works fine with JM2 and JP3

For the calendar, I have seen only once working with JM2. With this ROM instand of having 1 exchange calendar I had several calendar coming from my exchange account ( one for every type of event like work, family, personal ....)

Now with JP3 the calendar doesnt sync so I have to use gmail to sync my exchange

So no solution to propose ...

Iwill install again tomorrow JM2 to see if the mail and calendar definitely works with this one

How did you check that the mail app was crashing through usb ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mirceal:
Hello,

Good news from my side!

I found the issue I experienced.

The things are as follows: when you configure for the first time the default client, it's firstly connecting to ssl.samsungmobile.com server!!!! This I noticed only after I installed wireshark program on the mobile. My problem ead that I am using a separate APN for checking emails. This APN doesn't have access to internet. So it was impossible to reach that public server!!!! And the error was "unable to open a connection to server". It was speaking abot the samsung ssl server and not my company's Exchange Server!!!! Crazy thing.

So at the first time of email client connection setting I used the internet APN till the internal setting algorithm reaches the ssl.samsungmobile.com connection and when it tries to reach the Exchange Mail Server I switch to vpn APN. And the Exchange emails are working without any problem!

Try it!

Mircea
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenny_man:
Hi,

can you please clarify what exactly have you done?

for some reason I have the same problem on WiFi as well.

(let alone that ssl.samsungmobile.com is not a valid address).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mschweiz:
Same with Galaxy Tab - reason found

This is exactly the same problem on my tab.

literal translation: "connection with server impossible"

It seems, however, that the client is in contact with the server: when I enter a wrong username, the error throws immediatly; with the correct credentials it takes 3 times longer.

New findings:

Exchange 2010 does a good job logging EAS. Extract of the EAS dialog of my Galaxy Tab:

RequestBody :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<FolderSync xmlns="FolderHierarchy:">

<SyncKey>0</SyncKey>

</FolderSync>

AccessState :

Blocked

AccessStateReason :

Policy

ResponseHeader :

HTTP/1.1 449 Retry after sending a PROVISION command

MS-Server-ActiveSync: 14.1

ResponseBody :

[No XmlResponse]

So, I can see that the mail client doesn't integrate with Exchange's security policies. Very bad job indeed, as TouchDown AND HTC (Desire:Froyo) do quite well.

Is somebody please going to request Samsung to speed up?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mschweiz:
Exchange 2007 vs. 2010

I just discovered that on Galaxy Tab, the mail client can deal with an Exchange 2007 Server with security policies activated, but it cannot get the compliance check done with Exchange 2010.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
I think the bars are inaccurate it's showing zero bars when it says 3g and internet and text messages work fine
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Yea I've noticed the same thing. Maybe Samsung wanted to avoid a class action lawsuit for exaggerating signal strength?
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
lol right and at first i thought i had full bars since nothing was showing but the unlighted bars
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It just seems like a minor issue. I've yet to experience poor call quality at zero bars... sucks because it's all in our heads really. Bars have taken over!
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Your holding the phone wrong :P (sorry couldn't resist)

Lets take 2 possibilities...it is either a display bug...

or maybe just maybe..your signal is too strong which goes above the meter and shows 0...(that would be funny)\

more realistically look at this:

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/01/cell-phone-rece/
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Interesting that may be true
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
Me too. In my living room I go between 0dBm and -111dBm but I have never lost 3g data nor had a call dropped. Although I can't see the dB reading while on a call I do see the bars go from 0 to 3 bars and as soon as I'm off the call and they go back to zero,
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
I'm thinking it's a software issue that will be fixed
[Vibrant General] alextheman:
Same issue here. Zero bars most of the time in my home but 3G is working and calls are fine!!!
[Vibrant General] ntoxicated:
It has a death grip

I notice that when I hold the phone, bars go down very quickly, but they typically come back up for the most part.

I set the phone down on my bed - bars go up to full.

I hold the phone naturally in my hand - bars start dropping one by one.

For the most part they hit 0 bars, but connection seems fine. I was on a call and made the bars go down. My friend on the other end didn't notice any problems with the line. I didn't notice any problems either.

I can replicate the issue easily just by holding the phone. Looks like Apple was on to something with their claims. I wonder if Consumer Reports will put this phone it's list of not recommended phones too...
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Never lol
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
I have the same issue when i hold the phone in the lower left hand corner. I thought getting a case would correct the issue like on the iphone, but even with a case it still happens.
[General Questions and Answers] Neoconair:
I've seached the forums for discussion of this issue but haven't found anything.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] artie11:
I purchased 2 new Galaxy S's for my Girlfriend and I on Optus in Australia,

Both of us are having issues with it dropping out during calls. It seems that you can't hear people or they can't hear you, 1 of the 2.

The signal is Great, The Phones are Absolutely Awesome. I don't want to give them up.

Has anyone experienced or heard of this problem, It seems that after 30 -60 seconds it just stops, but not consistently, I have been making calls all day and it only did it once, Yesterday I made 1 call that actually worked.

I've upgraded my Firmware to JG3 in case that was it, They came with DTJF3, I'd like to reset hers and dump the rom, However i'm not quite sure on how to do that.

Instructions?, I'll up it after a factory reset and dump.

Optus is picking them up monday as we only had them 3 days before we couldn't take it anymore.

Regards,

aRTie11
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riz157:
Yeah I've experienced something similar, in the middle of a converstation my call got dropped and returned to home screen by itself for no apparent reason. experienced this twice in one day. Not happened since but mind you I've not made many calls since.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] artie11:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ycros:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Try not to touch the bottom part of the phone especially in bad reception areas. Don't completely trust the number of bars.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
They're talking about the SGS, not the Iphone 4 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] artie11:
Definitely wasn't reception,i live in small town. 5 towers and I know all the blackspots are.

Plus call didn't drop, just couldn't hear them. Or mostly they couldn't hear you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
I've been with optus die years and they do have blackspots, you can hear but not speak is probably a blackspot. I have ben using the galaxy s and what used to be a black spot on my iphone is now perfect reception on my beautiful samsung. Next time it happens try moving around.

Sent from my AWESOME Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
You still think the problem is unique to just iPhone 4? I don't. But you may need to see some videos to be convinced. I'll post some videos on ore phones later. Watch this space.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
I had a very similar issue with my SGS, but it seemed to resolve itself after a factory reset.

In my case, calls were dropping out at about the 7minute mark, and I had this happen twice in a row while I was on hold waiting for an Optus representative to activate a new account..... I just thought it was Optus cutting me off, but the next day when it happened again while talking with my boss - I realised it was the phone.

At the same time, I also found that Handcent messaging software also gave me issues (not receiving SMS's) as well, and it might have caused the same problem before doing the factory reset.

I've since moved to the european firmware JG5, and even with handcent, I've yet to have an issue with dropped calls or not receiving SMS's - so IMO its firmware related..

JF3 firmware has a lot of bugs too (which is pretty bad), so hopefully Optus releases new firmware based on either JF7 or JG5 soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
This firmware that you just had is from Samsung and does not require rooting, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] artie11:
As a followup. I received my new phone today. Happened again on first call.

Decided to turn off 3g. Next call. NO PROBLEMS. It s annoying as I'll have to turn it on and off as I need.

Going to ring optus tomorrow and quote the problem again. We only just got 3g in town, so i reckon that'd be it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
My data cap is low so I turn 3G on off, I agree on it being a pain. To make it slightly less painful I recommend 2 things. A shortcut, in case you don't know:

touch and hold on a blank spot on your homescreen, like adding a widget or app

select "shortcuts"

select "settings"

select "3G data call settings"

this way you wont have to enter/exit settings, it makes it much less painful, I used to try to keep my settings in my recently used so I could jump back to it easily.

1 other thing that might help, app "quick desk", not as big a help as the shortcut, but it can be combined with the short cut so you won't have to leave apps if you happen to have left the 3G on/off in the wrong position for your desired actions.

Hope that helps

Have you installed the USB Drivers that comes with KIES? if not do it.

If you want to just use normal mode then goto settings/about/usb/external drive . Then when you connect to pc you goto notifications on andrioid and select USB icon then Mount.
